How can this testing take place when a very long list of dependencies has not yet appeared in rawhide? A sample (6 of *hundreds*): ghc-csv-devel-0.1.2-2.fc15.x86_64 requires ghc = 0:6.12.3 ghc-csv-devel-0.1.2-2.fc15.x86_64 requires ghc-doc = 0:6.12.3 ghc-csv-prof-0.1.2-2.fc15.x86_64 requires ghc-prof = 0:6.12.3 ghc-haskell-src-exts-1.9.0-2.fc14.x86_64 requires libHShaskell98-1.0.1.1-ghc6.12.3.so()(64bit) ghc-haskell-src-exts-1.9.0-2.fc14.x86_64 requires libHSrandom-1.0.0.2-ghc6.12.3.so()(64bit) ghc-haskell-src-exts-1.9.0-2.fc14.x86_64 requires libHSfilepath-1.1.0.4-ghc6.12.3.so()(64bit) Please explain why such changes are not done in dependency order (bottom up). Other collections of packages have made similar messes from time to time. I don't understand the reasoning for top-down dribbling, particularly when the same subset of packagers is responsible for the entire suite. -- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
